The sight of the actor shirtless in a field turned the BBC series in to one of 2015’s most watched dramas.
When BBC drama ‘Poldark’ returns to our screens later this year, don’t be expecting to see more sexy scenes featuring a shirtless Aidan Turner. The show’s writer Debbie Horsfield has sadly revealed that Turner will be scything with his shirt on for series two, thanks to Cornwall’s chilly autumn weather conditions.
Aidan Turner will be keeping his clothes on for Poldark series two.
“Unfortunately autumn is very chilly in Cornwall, so he won’t be doing any in that,” Horsfield said. The writer added that last year’s filming took place during Cornwall’s “best summer in living memory”, while series two began filming last autumn and has only just wrapped.
Speaking during a Royal Television Society event in London which examined what made the show a hit, Horsfield reflected on the uproar the shirtless pics of Turner had caused last year, before the series even began airing.

“Who knew that one photograph would go global and there wouldn’t be a day in six months when it wasn’t in the paper?” she said. “Normally after a show has had its first episode you’re kind of begging the press to show a bit of interest."
"I don’t think any of us thought [of the image of Turner scything] ‘Wow that’s going to be in every newspaper for the next year.’” The second series of the drama is expected to begin airing in the autumn and will introduce new characters.

But even though series two has just finished filming, a third sries is already said to be in the works. Earlier this year, Turner accidentally revealed that series three would be happening, while appearing at the National Television Awards.
“We start shooting the third series, I believe, in September,” Turner told The Sun, before attempting to backtrack and adding: “Oh no, I'm going to be in trouble. It's possible we're not doing that.”
